Message: [QUOTE="Wbbfan1, post: 4104316, member: 74"] Don't agree with the expansion to 68 teams. These two games will be played in empty arenas. [B]The top 16 seeds will host first- and second-round games. For the 2022 tournament, the four new opening-round games will be held at four of those 16 sites. Starting in 2023, the opening round will be held at a neutral site to be determined.[/B] Is there a mistake in the above paragraph as there should only be two sites that would host these playoff games? Fans of a team that is hosting these two playoff games will have no reason to attend the game which was scheduled at the last minute.. I understand that that it might be easier to travel to a site where they will play their next game if they win. However, like I wrote they will play to an empty arena unless tickets are free. [/QUOTE]
